Mail offline with Fetchmail and Zimbra

[quangkhuong7255]

Hi all,
I am newbie of Zimbra mail system. From forum, I know that I have to use fetchmail to fecth all mail from catch all acount of ISP to our local mailserver (Zimbra). For detail:

Internet
Web: Ngân hÃ*ng TMCP Ä�ại TÃ*n - Great Trust Joint Stock Commercial Bank (TrustBank)
mail: mail.trustbank.com.vn (from ISP and has catchall account)
account mail: name@trustbank.com.vn

Local
Zimbra server: trustbank.com.vn (domain)
acount mail: name@trustbank.com.vn

I want to fetch mail from catchall acount to my local acount (name@trustbank.com.vn)
Please tell me how to configure fetchmail and zimbra to do this!

Thanks!

From what I read you wish to use the same domain name on your local ZCS server, so for that you will need to setup a Split DNS - Zimbra :: Wiki installation if you are being a firewall or on a private LAN. If you could perform the following on your Zimbra server and post the information would help us

cat /etc/hosts
cat /etc/resolv.conf
dig trustbank.com.vn mx
dig trustbank.com.vn any
host `hostname` <- type exactly as these are back ticks and not double quotes

Thanks uxbod for your reply!
I have setup split DNS.Now from my local network, when i type:
Ngân hÃ*ng TMCP Ä�ại TÃ*n - Great Trust Joint Stock Commercial Bank (TrustBank) --> web (internet)
http://mail.trustbank.com.vn --> Zimbra mail (local)

so, what i have to do next?

Post the information that I have asked for You need to ensure that your domain resolves locally so that when fetchmail injects the email into Postfix it will be able to deliver it locally.

You will also need to add the FQDN of your server to /etc/hosts aswell. Apart from that all looks good to give fetchmail a try

Some useful setup instructions in this Setup Email Server with ISP Domain.

Do you have any nick chat? Can I contact to you throught that nick?
Here is my yahoo nick: quangkhuong0725@yahoo.com

[uxbod]

Yes and No. Please post any questions you have to the forums as most of the mods have day jobs aswell

[quangkhuong7255]

I dont understand the process:
ISP --> fetchmail --> zimbra --> zimbra account

Example:
ISP: catchall@trustbank.com.vn
Zimbra : khuongdq@trustbank.com.vn (local)

how can zimbra getmail from fetchmail and distribute exactly to khuongdq@trustbank.com.vn?

can you explane in detail?

[uxbod]

you could add a alias called catchall@trustbank.com.vn to your khuongdq@trustbank.com.vn account. If you wanted everything to go to the one account then just add aliases for the respective names.
